Human face-like Tree
This is a picture of a tree whose branches are naturally arranged in such a way that it looks like a human face!
Human-like BUFFALO
This is a photo of a buffalo very similar to human especially its face which is dominantly similar to human. However, its hands and feets are more like a buffalo.
But overall the buffalo-boy has most organs of a cow having human shaped.
Doctors are of the view that it will die out shortly..

Little Girl Pregnant at the age of 5!
A man from a small village in the Andes Mountains carried his five-year-old daughter into a hospital.The father told Dr. Gérado Lozada that her daughter strangely having regular periodssince age three, but they had stopped about 7 1/2 months prior to the visit. Dr. Gérado listened to the young girl's abdomen with a stethoscope, and heard a tiny second heartbeat. An X-Ray was also performed, after which there could be no doubt… to the doctors' astonishment, five-year-old Lina Medina was about seven months pregnant!
Further research into the case was done by Dr. Edmundo Escomel, one of Peru's preeminent physician-researchers at the time. He discovered that Lina's menstruations had actually begun when she was only eight months old, much sooner than her father had originally reported.
Lina's father was arrested on suspicion of incest, but due to lack of evidence, he was released.

Extreme Deep Sleeping
Can you still sleep if someone punched you?
A punch is nothing compares to these two stories.
First story happens in Winona, Minnesota when a man was stabbed nine times without realising it himself because he is deeply asleep. His girlfriend later on noticed that he was covered in blood and woke him up. The 23 year old man were unable to identify his assailant.
Second Story was nothing less bizarre, Michael Lusher aged 37, of West Virginia was sleeping in his mobile home in the early hours of Sunday morning when an unknown gunman fired five bullets into the trailer and his truck. One of them struck Lusher in the head. But he didn't notice.
Four hours later, after waking up from his sleep he realises that there was blood running out from his head and went to the hospital.

Granny's 15 inch Waist
Dont worry,you don't need to visit any optician, there's nothing wrong with your eyes. And the photo is perfectly normal too.
Cathie Jung’s astonishing 39-15-39 figure is the result of spending the last 25 years laced into tight corsets, which only come off when she showers. But the 70-year-old insists there is no concern. Grandmother Cathie is perfectly healthy.
The most frequent aim of tightlacing is a slim waist. Depending on the silhouette desired, the shape of the ribcage may be altered as well. However, these effects are only temporary and will be lost on removing the corset. Excessive corset wearing has been claimed to weaken certain muscles, making it more difficult to maintain posture without a corset.
Cathie Jung is currently the smallest living person’s waistline listed in the Guinness Book Of Records.

Murder with a KISS!
A woman has been sentenced to death for killing her lover with a kiss! Xia Xinfeng and her childhood sweetheart, Mao Ansheng, swore an oath that if either was unfaithful, they would have to die. Xia took action after she saw her man talking to a woman in a way that made her suspicious, a court in Henan province, central China, was told.
They had arranged to meet the next day at a public bath-house. She filled a plastic pellet with rat poison, hid it under her tongue, and while they were kissing, nudged it into his mouth. Mao failed to notice it, swallowed it and died shortly afterwards.
Rat poison is one of the common methods of murder and suicide in China, so much so that one variety, "dushuqiang" was banned three years ago. In one case, a widow used it to kill 10 guests, with whom she had been engaged in a feud, at her husband's funeral banquet.
Despite the crackdown, however, besides Xin Xinfeng, a couple from Yunnan province, Chen Lihua and Huang Jianxiao, were also sentenced to death this week, suspended for two years, for lacing their respective spouses' dinners with rat poison.

The real EGG-HEAD Boy
Petero Byakatonda, a 13-year-old boy from a remote village in Uganda, suffers from a genetic disorder called Crouzon’s syndrome. The illness affects around one in 10,000 newborns and is normally treated within a few months of birth. But because of Petero’s isolation, he was diagnosed only recently, and it is incredible that he is still alive.
All his life, Petero’s misshapen head and bulging eyes have meant that he has been feared and tormented by other children in his village. “They used to bully me all the time,” he says. His mother, Dorothea, explains that kids used to throw stones at Petero every time he walked to the well. He was treated like a person at home but an animal everywhere else. Now, however, a Dallas-based surgical team offers hope.
After Surgery:
Two months after his first operation, the change in Petero is hard to believe. His head now looks normal, but perhaps the most amazing transformation is in his personality. Whereas he used to be a shy, reclusive boy, ashamed to show his face in public, he is now playful, excited and outgoing.

Cow's love for Music
Cows actually produces more milk if they listens to music. They're quite picky though, only relaxing music will work particularly Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony and Simon & Garfunkel's Bridge over troubled water.
NOTE: This Photo is not real its just for imagination!
Researchers found cattle that were exposed slow music for 12 hours a day, from 5am to 5pm, over the course of nine weeks, each cow's milk yield rose by 3% (0.73 liters or 1.54 pints) a day when slow music, rather than fast music, was played.
Some farmers already playing music to chickens, as there is anecdotal evidence that it reduces stress.
By the way, if you're not into slow-mo music, you might want to take up a lesson or two from them. That's because termites would chew through wood twice their usual speed if Rock music are played.

But I don't think Humans may have the same effect as Humans & Animals are very different from each other,psycologically.
Have you ever heard a Music listening Woman's baby is more healthy than the other???

Dog with only TWO LEGS
Faith, a bipedal female dog, was born to a mother dog, believed to be nearly full blooded chow in December of 2002 with only three legs; two fully-developed hind legs and a deformed front leg, which was amputated soon after birth.
Faith was weak, small, and mostly she was nearly dead. Jude Stringfellow's son, Reuben rescued Faith out from under Faith's mum and smuggled her under his jersey. He wore #63 for the Putnam City Pirates football team.
Using a spoon with peanut butter as an incentive, Jude from Oklahoma City, U.S taught Faith to hop and later walk on her two hind legs, and the family's corgi would bark at Faith from another room, or nip her heels to urge her to walk. Part of her therapy included being put on a skateboard to experience movement. Over six months the family taught her to stand, hop and eventually walk and run on her two back legs.
Here is the Video you can ENJOY!

World's most Expensive Needle
Who would have ever thought that a single needle would fetch a jaw breaking price of up to $300,000. Willard Wigan is one of the few in the world that made it happen.
A closer look at the eye of the needle with a microscope revealed that this is not any ordinary needle. There's a miniature sculpture of Snow White and the seven dwarfs, all fitted inside the pin head and including a witch nearby. Without the microscope, it looks nothing more than a speck of dust wedged in the eye of the needle. This speck, though, took more than three months to make it.
Other works by Wigan include a miniature model of Auguste Rodin's The Thinker - fitted on a pin head - and a model of The Last Supper, complete with 12 disciples. His tiniest piece up to date is a Scottish terrier standing on the point of an acupuncture needle; while his next project is to create a Little Red Riding Hood so small she could be gobbled up not just by a wolf but by a flea.
Wigan's ultimate ambition as he told is that one day, he's going to do the Queen in her Coronation Coach with all the horses, too.

Duck with FOUR LEGS
A rare mutation has left the ugly duckling named Stumpy, with an extra two legs behind the two he runs about on.
The creature would not survive in the wild, but owner Nicky Janaway who runs the farm in the Hampshire, UK, said "We will make sure he's OK and hopefully he will carry on running around and using the extra two legs as stabilisers."
Stumpy's condition has earned him fame, he made the headlines and made television appearances across the globe after his birth and an online blog has been ensuring fans can follow his every move.

Human Magnet (Mr. Magnet)
In Malaysia, 78 years old Liew Thow Lin is known as the Human Magnet or Mr. Magnet. He can make metal objects, weighing up to 2kg, stick to his skin without any aid and he is a scientific mystery because there is no trace of a magnetic field around his body. Scientists say his skin is also normal and there is no explanation for his unusual talent.
In 2006 he even pulled a 10.6-tonne bus using only his body's "magnetic force". Liew Thow Lin placed a steel contraption under his armpit, hooked it to a chain with the other end tied to the bus. He then pulled the bus for 3.4 metres in less than a minute.
"I myself am surprised by my extraordinary ability although I'm already 78 years old" he told reporters.
Liew also seems to pass some of his forces to his friend. Tan Kok Thai, also has the ability to lift various objects including stones weighing 33 kilogrammes that stuck to his body.
A group of professors from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia had found that Liew's magnetic force was not due to magnet or electricity but because his skin had extraordinary sucking force.

Pregnant Man
In the city of Nagpur, India, Sanju Bhagat's stomach was once so swollen he looked nine months pregnant and could barely breathe. Bhagat felt self-conscious his whole life about his big belly. But his problem erupted into something much larger than cosmetic worry one night in June 1999.
Bhagat, they discovered, had one of the world's most bizarre medical conditions known as fetus in fetu. It is an extremely rare abnormality that involves a fetus getting trapped inside of its twin. The trapped fetus can survive as a parasite even past birth by forming an umbilical cord-like structure that leeches its twin's blood supply until it grows so large that it starts to harm the host, at which point doctors usually intervene.
According to Dr. Ajay, there are less than 90 cases total recorded in medical literature. Fetus in fetu happens very early in a twin pregnancy, when one fetus wraps around and envelops the other. The dominant fetus grows, while the fetus that would have been its twin lives on throughout the pregnancy, feeding off its host twin like a kind of parasite.
Usually, both twins die before birth from the strain of sharing a placenta.

Women with (very long) Giraffe neck
The women of the Padaung hill tribe wear heavy brass ornaments around their neck and limbs. These ornaments look like separate rings but are really a continuous coil of brass that can weigh anywhere from five to twenty-two kilograms and measure up to 30 meter in length. The quantity of visual rings (in reality, the length of the brass coil) is increased every year, according to the age of the woman.
Young Paduang girls start wearing rings from the age of six, adding one or two more coil-turns (or visual rings) yearly, until the age of about 16.
Once fastened, the rings are for life, to remove the full coil of brass would cause the collapse or even fracture of the woman's neck.
In the past, removal of the brass rings was a punishment for adultery. The punishment was, that since the neck muscles had severely weakened, by years of not supporting the neck, the woman must spend the rest of her life, holding her head with both hands or lying down.
Paduang hill tribes women say that they are used to their custom and are happy in continuing the tribe's tradition.

Vegetarian Festival
The Vegetarian Festival is a religious festival annually held on the island of Phuket in southern Thailand.
A colorful event held over a nine day period in 11-19 October 2007, this celebrates the Chinese community's belief that abstinence from meat and various stimulants during the ninth lunar month of the Chinese calendar will help them obtain good health and peace of mind.
NOTE:This is not recommended for the feint hearted to witness.
In order to invoke the gods, participants acting as mediums of the gods will then firewalked, body pierced and other acts of self mortification. Men and women puncture their cheeks with various items including knives, skewers and other household items. Over the years it has became more spectacular and daring with more participants bringing new and more bizarre objects to skew their body. It is believed that the Chinese gods will protect such persons from harm, and little blood or scarring results from such mutilation acts.

Woman with HORN
A Chinese grandmother(Granny Zhao, 95, of Zhanjiang city, Guangdong province) has a five inch "horn" growing out of her forehead. The horn curves downward and looks like the stalk of a pumpkin. In fact, this horn is actually not a bone that grew out from her skull, instead it's a mole with elongated skin making it looking a horn.
“At first, it was only a mole, but it gradually grew and became like a horn,” she said," the horn don't cause me any trouble and discomfot except to affect my vision slightly and block part of my view." Her family are hoping that medical experts can explain the phenomenon.

Notice any resemblance to any of your household item?
No.!!!
But you are wrong!
Now a better look from the top, manage to notice it by now? Yes, you're right! It's a toilet-shaped home, the world's one and only toilet house.

World's LONGEST HAIR
Vietnam’s Tran Van Hay, must have saved great deal of money by not going to the barber in over 31 years, has hair that’s 20 feet long. On the other hand, he must've spent alot on shampoo too!

Man with the LARGEST HAND (Longest Finger)
Having one of the largest hand in the world, Liu Hua, a 24-year-old Jiangsu Province, China, was born with a very large left thumb, index and middle finger. Although his ring and little finger appeared to be normal.
Liu's three fingers and arm grew dramatically as he grew older and this had a serious affect on his life and his ability to work. When Liu was hospitalized in Shanghai No. 9 People's Hospital in July '07, his left thumb measured 26 centimeters, his index finger was 30cm and his middle finger 15cm. The overall weight of his left arm alone was about 10 kilograms!
Liu was suffering from a rare disease called macrodactyly, a birth defect in which toes or fingers are abnormally large. The cause of the disease is unknown but bone and soft tissue grows at an extraordinary rate.
Liu's fingers has stopped growing in recent years so plastic surgery was at last possible to correct the malformation. Liu hope that a successful surgery will give him back a normal life.
July 20 surgeons began a seven-hour operation to reduce the size of Liu's fingers and thumb. Doctors removed 5.1kg of flesh and bone in the procedure.
But this is just the first stage with a second operation is scheduled in six months to reshape his left arm and shoulder.

Girl born with 4 Arms & 4 Legs
When Shambhu's daughter was born in a rural Indian family, villagers in the remote settlement of Rampur Kodar Katti in the northern state of Bihar believed she was sacred. Her parents, Shambhu and Poonam Tatma, named the girl Lakshmi after the Hindu goddess of wealth who has four arms. Believe it or not, Lakshmi Tatma the little girl did born with 4 arms and legs!
As the news of her birth spread, locals and neighboring town people waited in line just to get a blessing from the baby. However, her parents were forced to keep her in hiding after they were approached by men trying to buy their daughter to put her in a circus. Children born with deformities in deeply traditional rural parts of India, like where Lakshmi is borned, are often viewed as reincarnated gods. This young girl is no different as she is named after the four-armed Hindu goddess of wealth.
In scientific terms Lakshmi case is called "parasitic twin", the twins that stopped developing in her mother's womb. The surviving fetus absorbed the limbs, kidneys and other body parts of the undeveloped fetus. The two spines are merged, she has four kidneys, entangled nerves, two stomach cavities, an extra torso and limbs but no head. She cannot stand up or walk. It was joined to Lakshmi at the pelvis.
The cost of the surgery is not cheap, with the total cost of $625,000, it's far too great for the Lakshmi's family to afford as the couple only earns just $1 a day as casual laborers. Fortunately, after Dr. Sharan Patil visited the girl in her village from Narayana Health City hospital in Bangalore, the hospital's foundation agreed to fund the operation.
On November 2007, More than 30 surgeons took 27 hours to not only remove two of Lakshmi's arms and two of her legs but also to rebuild much of her body and save her organs. They say the chances of death were as high as 25 percent. The operation went well and Lakshmi has made steady progress. Later, she was taken off a respirator and her parents were allowed to visit.
Many villagers, however, remain opposed to surgery and are planning to erect a temple to Lakshmi, who they still revere as sacred. Dr. Patil said Lakshmi's parents are "very practical" and knew the risks of the medical treatment. Asked about the belief she is a reincarnation of the goddess, he said, "She's a very charming young girl, and I'm sure she'll grow up and be something special."
As the news of her birth spread, locals and neighboring town people waited in line just to get a blessing from the baby. However, her parents were forced to keep her in hiding after they were approached by men trying to buy their daughter to put her in a circus.
